Wellness brand Swiss Proli gathered mothers from entertainment, healthcare, business, and public service for its inaugural Heroes of Home Awards held at Manila House Private Club, recognizing women who continue to balance demanding careers, caregiving, and family life.
Framed as a celebration of modern motherhood, the event highlighted the often unseen labor behind raising families while managing careers and public responsibilities.
Among those honored from the entertainment industry were actress Janice de Belen, singer Angeline Quinto, choreographer and G-Force founder Georcelle Dapat-Sy, entrepreneur and lifestyle personality Cat Arambulo-Antonio, actress and digital creator Moi Bien, and actress-host Via Antonio.
Women from the healthcare and business sectors were also recognized, including anesthesiologist Dr. Janice Cheu, nurse and Nurse of the Year awardee Grace Lagdaan, and business executive Noreen Geronimo.
Also included in the honorees list were communications executive Dina Tantoco, beauty entrepreneur Michelle Takijima, Nice Print Photo founder and CEO Charisse Tinio, sustainability advocate Genevieve Yalung, civic leader Patch Savellano Singson, entrepreneur Lara Villafuerte, and travel and immigration consultant Ruth Nieto.
During the event, chemist and entrepreneur Pinky Tobiano emphasized the importance of encouraging mothers to prioritize their own health and well-being. “Today, we celebrate mothers not just for all that they do, but for who they are,” Tobiano said. “They give so much of themselves every single day, and it’s just as important that we remind them to care for their own health and well-being too.”
Apart from recognizing mothers across industries, the event also highlighted the brand’s focus on wellness and self-care. Swiss Proli presented its Lean Quick Gummies, which contain apple cider vinegar and ingredients formulated to support digestion and metabolism, alongside Night Gummies, a nighttime supplement blend formulated with melatonin, ashwagandha, vitamins, and herbs to support rest and recovery.
The “Heroes of Home” initiative was created to celebrate mothers whose contributions often happen quietly behind the scenes, while encouraging them to make time for their own wellness amid busy schedules.
